We're Here to Help

The process for developing and moving a new technology out of the University and into a commercial product requires input from both intellectual property (IP) and business professionals to understand the  scope and value of any new technology. This process is iterative, and success requires the creator’s  involvement well beyond the lab or workstation. Our office is here to help all parties navigate the process.
